Complete Works of Voltaire 71B - Voltaire editeur: oeuvres de 1769-1770 (II) (French, Hardcover, Critical edition)

The two texts in this second volume of 'Voltaire editeur' show very different approaches to the works presented. Behind the playful title "Sophonisbe, tragedie de Mairet, reparee a neuf" lies a thorough critique of a classical style that has become, in Voltaire's view, unplayable. Not a line of the play remains untouched by the 'editor'. By contrast it is in the annotation of the "Discours de l'Empereur Julien contre les chretiens" that Voltaire pursues his campaign against l'Infame, claiming the Roman emperor for the band of Enlightenment philosophes.
